The FatFs module is written in compliance with ANSI C (C89) and completely separated from the disk I/O layer. Therefore it is independent of the platform. It can be incorporated into small microcontrollers with limited resource, such as 8051, PIC, AVR, ARM, Z80, RX and etc. Also Petit FatFs module for tiny microcontrollers is available here." diff --git a/documents/00index_e.html b/documents/00index_e.html index 3646a380464dcd33c04a08c98a587ee5787c8ed7..b3b8adbaab1dc19bbd9a23b7d7b517289b1edeec 100644 --- a/documents/00index_e.html +++ b/documents/00index_e.html @@ -5,6 +5,8 @@ + +
-Since the FatFs module is the filesystem layer independent of platforms and storage media, it is completely separated from the physical devices, such as memory card, harddisk and any type of storage device. The low level device control module is not a part of FatFs module and it needs to be provided by implementer. FatFs accesses the storage devices via a simple media access interface shown below. Also sample implementations for some platforms are available in the downloads. A function checker for low level disk I/O module is available here.
